Okay, I keep getting being told that no one is denying that sex/the female sex exists, and being asked for "proof". Collating here. Feel free to add.
"No one is saying sex doesn't exist" - also, trans women are adult human females. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
A variant: sex exists, but male and female don't. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but gynaecologists should treat transwomen.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Well this one's quite clear.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist But the word female is now redefined.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Maybe this was meant ironically? Let's hope.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist I'm going to be honest. This file was saved on my computer as "It's Naomi, because of course it is".
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Honestly not sure what this is even saying, but a woman can't be -mostly- male. No one can be -mostly- male.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Ah, the classic female penis. That's going to be in this thread a lot.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist It's just a sort of rough guess.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Oh no wait, it's genocide.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Damn doctors, amirite?
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist I mean, technically, I guess they're saying that sex does exist but it's decided by gender? Not actual physical differences. So I'm not sure what the word "biologically" is doing there.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Sex exists, but male and female don't. Gotcha.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Trans women get periods. I mean, this isn't technically denying that sex exists, but it's pretty strongly against biological facts, so I'm including it.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Now I read the first tweet here and thought "Maybe they're just making a linguistic point about 'woman' vs 'female'". But reading on, nope, they're definitely excluding sex from the discussion. Quite remarkable how hard they work to avoid the word.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Or, if it does, it's transphobic to ever mention it. Ever. Even if it's relevant.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist "It's complicated". And has no practical implications that anyone should take note of at all.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Yes, females can impregnate other females with their female sperm from their female penis.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Sex *might* exist, but if you mention it, you're a literal Nazi.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist This one might be someone trolling, since Pliny the Elder is well-known for having got lots of science really, really wrong. If not, they're well-named.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist "Adult Human Female".
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist PSA: If you were not born female, and you're bleeding down below or in your urine, please seek medical attention. Not being ironic or snarky, here, this can be a sign of cancer.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist The infamous "gender unicorn" that says sex is "assigned at birth". (Incidentally appropriating language used by the intersex community.) And others intersex people.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist "biologically male" is just a relative term.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Another "it's complicated".
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Humans can change sex. Sex is a living system. You might wake up tomorrow and be the other sex. Or a third sex. Or anything really. A clownfish, maybe.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist It's mutable. Not cosmetically mutable. If you've had the surgery, you are literally the new sex. I mean, evidence might show that you're still taller, stronger, or whatever. But that's not sex, it's just luck.
This whole thread is worth reading on how sex and gender have been *deliberately* confused.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist https://mobile.twitter.com/Scottish_Women/status/1132958234376048641
Clue, a menstruation tracking app, is keen to let you know that it's not just for females, it's for anyone who menstruation.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
Special award to Twitter for deciding that the existence of sex violates their rules. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
Biological sex isn't naturally occurring. Also, it's not very reliable. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
That's not how sex works. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
Let's just conflate gender and sex again, shall we? πŸ™„

Those boxes? They're gender. Trans ideology keeps insisting everyone has one, even to the extent of encoraging surgery on people's bodies to fit their gender box.

#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
Apparently @ActionAidUK is a charity working with women and girls. I wonder how they know that? #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
I wonder how Planned Parenthood Ottawa explains who might get pregnant if contraception fails, and what impact it might have on their lives? #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
This sticky-out thing? It's a vagina. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
The "violence" of saying that sex is binary. This person is a lawyer for the ACLU. #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
Existing as a female... #nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
Please, remember the clownfish. πŸ™„

#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist except Janet here.
A woman is someone who is female. A female is someone who says they're female. There's another boring, technical definition but no one likes it. πŸ™„

#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but describing female anatomy as female anatomy is transphobic. πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but there's no such thing as discrimination based on sex because being female is just having less erectile tissue?πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist except Morgane, because Morgane definitely is. It's all just a certificate.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but Kamala Harris isn't the first female VP and it's gross to suggest she is. πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist, just know that there are at least six sexes. πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but you can't tell what someone's sex is by looking. Not in anyone.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but if I throw enough long words at it, maybe you'll forget that all these things are aligned into one of two combinations in the vast majority of the human race.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but once again, Morgane definitely is.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist except Chase, too. Chase says sex doesn't exist. (Or is reassuring us that trans people aren't robots, I suppose.)
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist Oh, sorry, Sally's saying it too.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but they are somewhat redefining "birth".
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist except, once again, this person. So many people still saying the thing that "no one is saying".
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but this Green Party person says that humans can change sex. It's policy. Who can argue with policy?
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist and *technically* this tweet says that sex can be described. But if you've redefined "male" and "female" how do we describe it?
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist
You might think it's just a few cranks. But this is a lawyer for @ACLU speaking. And speaking. And speaking... Despite the fact that a cursory glance at the facts proves them wrong.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but it's socially defined and if you know what sex you are, that's just a gender identity not a fact. πŸ™„

(Seems to be some confusion between a stereotype and a definition here.)
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but it's "infinite and largely unknowable". πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but it's "wildly subjective and not well defined at all". πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but "no one is biologically a woman". πŸ™„
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but it's unbelievably complicated how babies are made. Amazing that so many people and animals manage to reproduce, really.
#nooneissayingsexdoesntexist but ... I kinda feel like this one deserves a special award for jumping from sex denial to toxicity.
